When you listen to
Lily and the Octopus, you will be taken on an unforgettable ride. The magic of this novel is in the listening, and we don't want to spoil it by giving away too many details. We can tell you that this is a story about that special someone: the one you trust, the one you can't live without. For Ted Flask, that someone special is his aging companion, Lily, who happens to be a dog.

One of the best books I've read in a long time

I totally loved this book! And I don't even have a dog. The story was that relatable. Very sweet and imaginative.

I loved this book. I learned so much from it even though I'm not involved in retailing (but I'm in advertising). It's very well-written, has many amazing insights, and is also a really entertaining listen. The narrator does a great job.

Winner of the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Award,
The Shipping News shows why E. Annie Proulx is recognized as a gifted and original writer. When Quoyle, a 36-year-old, third rate newspaperman, learns that his two-timing wife has abandoned him and their two daughters, he returns to his ancestral home on the Newfoundland coast, to rebuild his life. We also recommend Proulx's,
Accordion Crimes.
